IT all about personal ablity to care and feed your snakes. I had to stop takingin rescued snakes until I can make/find a local rodent supplier.

right now I am at a limit ( actually over some ) cause I not been able to aquire enough rats too feed everyone on a weekely bases since my rats are not keeping up wiht the needs.( this is cause I have been caring for my girlfriend's 11 snakes too) and as a result I went way over and it way too much money for a rat in de ( from closest source ) as a small going for about 4-6 bucks each ( so figure I gor 33 snakes right now so 5 bucks each for the small rats times 25 ( since some are small enough to take only pinkies ) I am looking at 125 bucks minium for ratsa week. and that way out of my budget ( since I spent most my snake money $##%^@*$^ around in New Jeseryand I not have it any other way ) I have gone ot a rotating feeding right now until my rat pups grow up enough to feed snakes. lucky I had some good sized forzen rats in freezer lol..

I say my max number of snakes with out a sde income would be personally about 25 snakes.
